You should be aware that there is a home-use laser phototherapy device, the HairMax(r) LaserComb that has been 510(k) cleared by the FDA for marketing for the treatment of hereditary hair loss. Best of all, a large clinical study demonstrated that the HairMax was effective in regrowing hair in men with pattern baldness.





The study, HairMax LaserComb Laser Phototherapy Device in the Treament of Male Androgenetic Alopecia was published in the prestigious medical journal, Clinical Drug Investigation, May 2009. This was a double-blind, placebo controlled device at a number of centers and was 26 weeks in duration. Of the 110 patients who completed the study, subjects in the HairMax LaserComb treatment group exhibited a significantly greater increase in mean terminal hair density, than subjects in the placebo group.





The conclusion of the study were ';The results of this study suggest that the HairMax LaserComb is an effective, well tolerated and safe laser phototherapy device for the treatment of AGA (male pattern baldness) in males';

Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world have successfully used the HairMax and kept the device so they must be getting the type of results that were proven in the study.

if you are one of the unlucky men who experience male pattern baldness early then a shampoo and conditioner probably won't help.





To become gradually bald is a normal part of the ageing process for most men. No treatment is wanted or needed by most affected men. For some men, baldness can be distressing, particularly if it is excessive or occurs early in life.





Treatment that may help is:


Medication


Currently there are two medicines that help - finasteride (trade name Propecia) and minoxidil (trade name Regaine).


Finasteride has been available in the US since 1997. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. The hair follicles are then not affected by this hormone, and can enlarge back to normal.


Some hair re-growth occurs in about 2 in 3 men who take a finisteride tablet each day. In about 1 in 3 men there there is no hair re-growth, but most do not have any further hair loss whilst taking finasteride. It has no effect in about 1 in 100 men. So, if you take finasteride, you have a good chance that hair will re-grow, or at least stop any further hair loss. Some points about finasteride include the following.


It takes about 4 months for any effect to be noticed, and up to 1-2 years for full hair growth.


The balding process returns if treatment is stopped. Therefore, if successful, you need to carry on treatment to maintain the effect.


Side-effects are uncommon. The most common is that about 2 in 100 treated men report loss of sex drive (libido).


It does not work in women with male pattern baldness.





Minoxidil lotion is a rub-on treatment that you can buy at pharmacies without a prescription. It is not clear how it works. The higher strength solution (5%) is more effective than the 2% strength.


There is debate as to how effective it is. Probably about half of men who use minoxidil delay further balding. About 15 in 100 users have good hair re-growth. There is continued hair loss in about a third of users. However, some reports claim much higher success rates. It seems that it is best used to prevent further hair loss, but hair re-growth occurs in some users. Some points about minoxidil include the following.


It needs to be rubbed on the scalp every day.


It usually takes 4 months or more for any effect to be noticed.


Treatment needs to be continued indefinitely. Any new hair that does re-grow falls out two months after treatment is stopped


It is quite expensive.


It may work in some women who have male pattern baldness.


Side-effects are uncommon. For example, skin irritation or a rash sometimes occurs.
